This won't have caused any damage, and not likely to have been felt by many. Anything to add, @earthquakeguy.bsky.social ?
Small earthquake local to Victoria, just over a half hour ago, at 12:10 PST. At 25km depth just off from Albert Head.

This mornings M3.0 felt earthquake near Duncan was well recorded on the #SchoolShake network. No damages expected, but a great reminder to be prepared.

Small M1.9 earthquake this morning just offshore #VictoriaBC, at 5:39 am PDT, at 9 km depth. While not large enough to cause damage and not likely to be felt, another reminder of the hazard across the region. Well recoded by the @schoolshake.bsky.social @raspishake.bsky.social network.

Another local earthquake, beneath the south end of the peninsula. Once again really nicely picked up by the @schoolshake.bsky.social @raspishake.bsky.social network operated by @seos-uvic.bsky.social, @hakai.org and the Geological Survey of Canada.
Victoria, there was a small earthquake 17km below South Oak Bay in the wee hours last night (around 03:41 AM). This was really well detected by our @raspishake.bsky.social network of @schoolshake.bsky.social seismometers! This was a very small event at depth, so would definitely not cause any damage

The latest models from the USGS show slip, and associated strong shaking, extending much further to the south. Here I have plotted contours of estimated shaking over a map of population density. Note that the fault runs south through a narrow valley that is densely populated.

Just curious, any other seismologists out there having difficulty getting data from the @earthscope.org SAGE/GAGE fdsnws services, or are getting a "system currently overloaded" message from the web-based metadata aggregator?

The US Geological Survey (in the Dept of the Interior) is the federal agency that runs our volcano observatories & monitors volcanoes in the US for imminent eruption. Their work is critical to protect lives & infrastructure when volcanoes awaken like this. 🌋
The closest active volcano to Anchorage — Mount Spurr — is now expected to erupt within the next few weeks.
Would be a great time to have a fully-staffed NOAA to help navigate the impacts of this likely disaster.

Small Earthquake just off from Colwood this afternoon at 4:24 PM local time. A small M0.8 event at 9 km depth, but still detectable with the local seismic networks and a few of the SchoolShake stations!

Another small but felt earthquake occured March 6th at 16:18 PST, deep within the Olympic Mountains of Washington State. While a M3.8-3.9, at 42km depth it was not as widely felt as Monday's. Picked up nicely on the SchoolShake @raspishake.bsky.social Network.

The seismic swarm in Greece continues - and GPS stations on Santorini show that the island itself is deforming, signaling likely movement of magma deep in the crust. In our latest post, we explore a new detailed seismic catalog and come up with a possible interpretation.

Regarding the earthquakes near the greek island of #Santorini there a few things to know.
#Earthquake swarms are common throughout the aegean, and usually they end without causing problems. So there is a high likelyhood that nothing will happen.
However, there are several potential issues.
